Cynthia Lynch (born May 18, 1971)[2][3] is an Americanprofessional wrestler. While in theWorld Wrestling Federation, she became the first of four women to win the company'sHardcore Championship.
After being aprofessional wrestling fan as a child, Lynch made her debut in wrestling as a valet in December 1996 on the Northeastern independent circuit with help from her childhood friendDawn Marie Psaltis. She managed many popular wrestlers in that area includingSteve Corino, Rik Ratchet,Pat Kenney and The Inferno Kid. Soon after that, she began training to wrestle, and participated in many mixed tag matches. She had her first singles match in February 1998 where she lost to Little Jeanne, then known as Sweet Destiny. On July 24, 1999, she won the NWA New Jersey Junior Heavyweight Championship from Kevin Knight.
In 1999, she caught the eye ofTom Prichard, who was then a talent scout/trainer for theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF), and in July 1999 signed a developmental contract with WWF. She began training with Prichard soon after. In October 1999, she made an appearance onRaw as one ofThe Godfather's Hos and was attacked byViscera. Soon after that, she was sent to WWF's then developmental territoryMemphis Championship Wrestling (MCW) for further training and development. While there she had feuds withThe Kat,Jasmin St. Claire,Molly Holly andVictoria. In May 2000, she made three more televised appearances in the WWF as one of The Godfather's hos, briefly winning theHardcore Championship fromCrash Holly.[1][4] Holly quickly pinned her to regain the title.[1][4] When the WWF dropped MCW as one of their developmental territories in December 2000, she (along with some of the others training there) was released from her contract.
In the summer of 2002, she worked briefly forTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) asDavid Young's valet.[2]
Afterward, she returned to working for several other independent feds on the east coast, including Glory, GLOOW/DWOW, WEW, among others.

On March 20, 2009, she wrestled at Firestorm Pro Wrestling against Sassy Stephie in a match that featuredApril Hunter as the guest referee.
In 2012, Lynch joinedOhio Valley Wrestling, and unsuccessfully challengedTaeler Hendrix for theOVW Women's Championship. AtSaturday Night Special on February 4, she teamed with C.J. Lane to lose to Aleida Ortiz andTaeler Hendrix. On February 8, she lost a six-person mixed tag team match with Bull Bronson and Epiphany to Paredyse, C.J. Lane and Taeler Hendrix.
